The Arizona baseball team will begin its defense of the College World Series on Feb. 15 as it opens the season against Coppin State.

The Wildcats will play 21 of their first 23 games and 38 total out of their 55 game-season at Hi Corbett Field this year.

Arizona will travel to Long Beach State on Feb. 19-20 to play in its first and only non–conference road game. The Wildcats’ other 23 non-conference games will be played in the confines of pitcher-friendly Hi Corbett, including two games against rival ASU on April 9 and April 30.

On March 15, the Wildcats will host Oregon State, the last Pac-12 school to win the College World Series, in 2007. Arizona will host Utah, Washington, Cal and USC for three series at home and will travel to Washington State, Stanford, UCLA, Oregon and ASU for weekend series.

On Oct. 4 at 6 p.m., the Wildcats will play an exhibition game against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim’s instructional league team at Diablo Stadium in Tempe, Ariz., and will officially begin practices on Oct. 8.
